Additional Precursor Accelerator effect not mentioned in game

from GalCiv3 Forums

While examining some of my ships I noticed that any ships with shields are receiving a "Study the Precursor Accelerator" bonus of 15% for shield strength. However, the description for the Precursor Accelerator World states "Shipyards sponsored by this world will build faster ships." There is no mention of an effect on shields. 

I have confirmed that ships produced at the Precursor Accelerator World shipyard are receiving a bonus of 15% for speed.

I submitted a ticket regarding this.

Isn't that bonus a result for one of the Colonizing event Ideology choices?  If so, it is an additional bonus for all ships you own, not just the ones built at the Accelerator.

When you colonize a precursor planet (regardless of if it  has an elevator, satellites, is a prison or contaminated) you will get a special 'precursor event'. This event is <sometimes but not always>  GLOBAL and is rather significant. 

One of the choice is in fact a Global +15% to shield strength, others include +10% to accuracy, 10% to dmg (mass driver or beams), +10% to economy or a planetary increase of some kind.  It sounds like you may have had one of of these events. 

Cheers!

Runifoc,

Can you confirm that you haven't gotten any other colonization events that may have given you this bonus?
